Crossing the Red Sea

Read

Exodus 13:17 -14:30

Questions to ponder

How do these factors in the Israelites’ escape from Egypt inform our Christian faith and life today?

  • Moses passed instructions from God to the people
  • God did not take them by the shortest route
  • The ‘pillar of cloud’ that went before them by day and the ‘pillar of fire’ that went before them by night
  • The parting of the Red Sea
  • The drowning of the Egyptian army
  • The waters of the Red Sea returned after the Israelites had crossed over
